We just wrapped up 6 days in Beijing and it honestly couldn’t have gone better. The Forbidden City completely lived up to the hype — it’s massive and full of stories, just standing there made us feel like we were stepping back in time. Jingshan Park was a nice surprise too, the view over the Forbidden City from the top was unreal.

Our favorite day, no doubt, was Simatai Great Wall and Gubei Water Town. Hiking the Wall during sunset felt magical — way less crowded than other parts of the Wall and the views were just stunning. Then chilling at Gubei Water Town in the evening with all the lights was like being in a movie.

Also loved exploring the local morning market — seeing everyday life up close was super refreshing after all the big landmarks. 798 Art Zone was another cool spot, full of creative energy.

Big thanks to our guide and driver — everything was smooth, and we always felt taken care of. This trip gave us so many memories, already thinking about coming back one day!
